Hangman's loop (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

noose

'hangman's loop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for noose that I've seen before include "Hangman's rope" , "Snare made of rope" , "A loop for the hangman" , "Loop at the end of a rope" , "Loop in a lariat" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald, The Guardian and The Star Tribune.
